9. Any item - internal or external - that is required by a process before that process proceeds






10. Identifying all people or organizations impacted by the project and documenting relevant information regarding their interest - involvement and impact on project success

27. Modification that allows an acceleration of the successor activity.






28. Sum of products - services and results to be provided as a project






29. Identifying and documenting relationships among project activities






30. Summary level schedule that identifies the major schedule milestone






31. Documenting project purchasing decisions - specifying the approach and identifying potential sellers






32. Logical relationship where completion of work of the successor activity cannot finish until the completion of work of the predecessor activity.






33. Identifying - documenting - approving or rejecting and controlling changes to the project baselines






34. An estimating technique that uses the values of parameters - such as scope - cost - budget - and duration or measures of scale such as size - weight - and complexity from a previous similar activity as the basis of estimating the same parameter or me






35. Collecting and distributing performance information - including status reports - progress measurements and forecasts






36. Deliverable oriented hierarchical decomposition of the work to be executed by the project team to accomplish the project objectives and create the required deliverables






37. Adding features and functionality (project scope) without addressing the effects on time - costs - and resources or without customer approval






38. Action taken to bring a defective or nonconforming component into compliance with requirements or specifications






39. Schedule network diagramming technique in which schedule activities are represented by boxes or nodes. schedule activities are graphically linked by one or more logical relationships to show the sequence in which the activities are performed
